HuMe

Humanities in Medicine at the University of
Washington

Our mission

Humanities in Medicine (HuMe) is a student interest group at the University of Washington School of Medicine that provides a venue to
discuss the connections between the humanities and
medicine amongst peers, staff and faculty. HuMe promotes the value of a humanistic foundation for
the practice of medicine, and strives to enrich the minds and
hearts of medical students with the grandeur, nobility
and challenge of literature and philosophical thought.
We foster an environment of open-mindedness and
mutual respect in order to promote the robust sharing of
ideas across diverse cultural, religious and
philosophical perspectives.
